This method is very suitable for the formation of nonstoichiometric compounds, solid solutions, and refractory composites. Many reacting systems, especially those involving elemental reactants, may generate a sufficient amount of energy to be self-sustaining. Addition of certain reactive additives and chemical promoters result in the significant modification of the reaction mechanism. Due to a gas transport of key reactant(s) on particle-to-particle level, products with average particle sizes at nanoscale can be obtained by using this high temperature technique. The formation of other ceramic composite powders with a very high specific surface area, such as SiC, AlN-BN, BN-B4C, and MoSi2-Si3N4, using chemically active organic and inorganic gas transport promoters will be presented in detail as a function of key processing parameters, including system pressure, reactant composition, and amount of gas transport promoters. Thermodynamics and reaction mechanisms of these reactions will be presented.
In-situ formation by exothermic reaction and densification of nanostructured TiAl3-Al2O3 composites from aluminum and titanium dioxide nanopowders will be discussed as well. | | ISBN: | 0-9767985-6-5 |
